  • Women Creating Machinima Jenifer Vandagriff Georgia Institute Of
    Women creating Machinima Jenifer Vandagriff Georgia Institute of Technology [email protected] Michael Nitsche Georgia Institute of Technology [email protected] Abstract We interviewed 13 female machinima artists to investigate the appeal of machinima for women. Are there any specific qualities of this game-based production that speak to those women? The research looked at engine use, personal situation of artists and motivation, production processes, and dominant themes in female produced machinima. Our findings indicate that machinima as a form of emergent play opens up promising possibilities for women to engage in game and animation production. Traditional social roles of women are present and remain relevant for machinima production but the accessibility of the tools provides a playground for these filmmakers to explore new genres and technologies and it supports the interest in meaningful engagement and artistic expression stated by participants in the study. We conclude that machinima can serve as a useful tool to explore and improve women’s position in digital media development. Keywords women, machinima, storytelling, media production 1 Women in Machinima Introduction Women comprise only a small fraction of the technical, design, and concept stages of game development. Women constitute approximately 8% for the areas of art, design, and audio. They make up less than 3% in programming (Duffy 2008). Not only are fewer women making decisions about game design, but they also earn substantially less (nearly $10,000) then male colleagues (Duff 2008). While women remain heavily underrepresented in key areas of the game industry workforce, the percentage of female gamers has grown significantly.

    HEALTH RELATED BEHAVIOURS IN ANIMATED MOVIES 1 Representation of Health-related Behaviours in Animated Movies for Children: A Quantitative Content Analysis Benedetta Metafune Student number: 11609133 Master’s program: Persuasive Communication Thesis Supervisor: dr. Barbara Schouten Word Count: 8,426 HEALTH RELATED BEHAVIOURS IN ANIMATED MOVIES 2 Abstract This study aims to investigate how are healthy and unhealthy behaviours represented in animated movies for children from 1937 to 2018. A sample of 30 movies was systematically selected and content-analysed. The analysis revealed that unhealthy behaviours were overrepresented compared to healthy behaviours. Additionally, the characters who performed both healthy and unhealthy behaviours were more likely to be positive characters rather than negative characters. Furthermore, healthy and unhealthy behaviours were represented mainly visually instead of auditory or visually and auditory simultaneously. Lastly, healthy behaviours were more likely to be portrayed with a positive valence, while unhealthy behaviours were more likely to be portrayed with a negative valence. Interestingly, my study suggests that parents and educators should not prevent their children from watching animated movies, although adults’ supervision is always recommended. Keywords: healthy behaviours, unhealthy behaviours, positive characters, villains, modality, valence, animated movies, children.

  • Steven Murdoch Thesis
    A new approach for the communication and production of three-dimensional computer assisted character animation Steven Murdoch A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2020 Swinburne University of Technology P.O. Box 218, Hawthorn, Vic, 3122. Melbourne, Australia Abstract Current methods of communicating knowledge specific to the production of three- dimensional computer assisted character animation are limited. While the quality and complexity of character animation has increased over recent decades, there has been little advancement in the ways of making deep artistic and technical production knowledge explicit and sharable to aspiring character animators. In this research Agent-Oriented Software Engineering was applied as a theoretical framework to discuss the components of the animation environment as notions of agency and requirements. The graphical modelling method Agent-Oriented Goal Modelling was then leveraged to design a conceptual goal model of an explicit, simple language system design for the production of three-dimensional computer animation. This Mk I (mark one) Goal Model was applied within an animation project that pursued the collaborative production of three short undergraduate student films. Through the analysis of quantitative and qualitative project data, the Mk I Goal Model was found to communicate production practice and process. At this time areas for improvement were identified concerning the goal model’s granularity, the communication of different types of quality, and the evaluation of requirement achievement. Based on this data, a second simplified conceptual Mk II (mark two) Goal Model was designed that explicitly incorporated Primary and Emotional system requirements. This Mk II Goal Model was then evaluated across a series of short, independent undergraduate student character animation projects.
